Compatibility
An addon is compatible with various types of physical and virtual devices. Please, check if your platform and NIC are listed in the compatibility list to ensure it can work with the addon.
💡 Pay attention
Even if your driver is listed in the list above as supported, it only means that it is supported by a specific driver.
There is no way to test all NICs covered by drivers. If you find any issues with your hardware initialization or work, please create a bug report so we can work with you and fix the compatibility issue.
